Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Jinpei Matsuda looked at the things that looked like performance props and costumes randomly piled up in the living room. Combining the situation of the entire living room and the way these things were stacked, he could tell that the owner of these things did not intend to leave for a long time.

And the patterns on these things...

Although there is no more information about the Three Fire Sect in the old case files of the Metropolitan Police Department, the obvious flame pattern and the relationship between this case and the Three Fire Sect...

Jinpei Matsuda believed that even the mountain village in Gunma could guess that there must be some hidden relationship between Hanai Shunta and the Sanhuo Cult.

After taking a picture of the evidence, Matsuda Jinpei turned around and could no longer see Conan who was in the living room just now.

He looked around and saw that the door of the study was open. He thought that the little brat had sneaked into the study while he was thinking about something.

When Jinpei Matsuda walked into the study, he saw Conan kneeling on a chair in the study, holding a handkerchief in his hand, carefully placing it on the mouse to check the contents on the computer.

Seeing him like this, Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't say much. He walked lightly behind Conan and looked at the contents of the computer with him.

After roughly browsing the contents, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but said, "I say, don't you know too much?"

Upon hearing this, Conan, who was immersed in the emotion of finally finding a new clue, froze.

Oops! He got so carried away with his research that he completely forgot about Officer Matsuda!

Seeing Conan's nervous expression, Matsuda Jinpei felt that something was wrong. If the other party was just an ordinary genius boy, he shouldn't be so nervous...

Wait, could this kid be some kind of boy with a special physique that prevents him from growing up?

Just when Matsuda Jinpei was thinking wildly, Conan instantly thought of an excuse, "Brother Shinichi taught me."

"Kudo Shinichi?"

When Jinpei Matsuda heard Conan say this, he recalled the high school detective who had been acting a little mysterious recently.

Seeing Conan nod, he continued, "That kid has been keeping a low profile lately. With his reckless personality, could he be in some big trouble?"

To be honest, Jinpei Matsuda's impression of Kudo Shinichi wasn't too bad.

After all, Kudo Shinichi once helped some of his useless colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department solve many cases. He also talked to Hagi and the squad leader. If that kid were to enter the police academy and become a policeman, he would definitely be a rising star in the police force in the future.

“I don’t know about that either.”

Not knowing whether the other party believed it or not, Conan felt his hair stand on end again as he smiled awkwardly.

Officer Matsuda's intuition was so accurate. He was in big trouble, a huge trouble that could lead to the death of everyone around him if he wasn't careful.

Jinpei Matsuda had a hunch that Conan must be hiding something. He looked at Conan suspiciously, but didn't say anything more.

He took the mouse from Conan, checked the contents of the computer again, took photos of some evidence for record, and turned off the laptop, preparing to take it back to the Metropolitan Police Department for further study.

Seeing that Officer Matsuda didn't ask any more questions, Conan became much bolder. "Officer Matsuda, why didn't those people who came here completely delete these chat records?"

When Jinpei Matsuda heard Conan's question, he glanced at the little brat, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly: "I don't know."

"..."

Conan didn't expect to get such an answer. He originally thought that he could get some information from Officer Matsuda based on his expression. After all, there must be more old files related to the Sanhuo Cult in the Metropolitan Police Department, and Officer Matsuda must know more information.

The reason why he did this was because he heard from Uncle Maori that the joint investigation team had different opinions on the case, so he simply conducted a separate investigation.

At this moment, Conan felt that this feeling of being defeated was very familiar, just like the time before in Nishitama City and the last time in the Metropolitan Police Department.

He glanced at Jinpei Matsuda secretly and angrily.

Really, Officer Matsuda is indeed a good friend of Mr. Amuro and Officer Hagiwara, and they both like to play with children. (At this moment, a certain detective completely treats himself as a child, bushi.)

But he was only angry for a moment and soon started investigating other places in the house.

......

Gunma Prefecture.

Kenji Hagiwara glanced at the Gunma Prefecture police who were waiting outside with him. His trip was not in vain. He re-investigated Hanai Shunta's home in Gunma and found many clues that had been missed before.

He didn't know how his colleagues from Gunma had checked before. They couldn't be so careless just because this wasn't the crime scene, right? Did they just confirm that Hanai Shunta's house was here, and then just took a quick look and left?

Unable to figure it out, Kenji Hagiwara put the booklet in his hand into the evidence bag.

The booklet in his hand was very important. He just took a quick look at it and saw two familiar names on it, Atsushi Umino and Masao Tanigawa, the victims of the second and fifth cases respectively.

At this point, they finally found other related connections between the victims in several cases besides the fire bird totem items found at the scene.

After returning to Tokyo, he can first screen the people on the list from the national information database to determine the situation of those remaining on the list.

In short, he didn't want the people on the list to be people who had met with misfortune.

The county police officer guarding the door watched as Kenji Hagiwara came out with two evidence bags. He said, "Officer Hagiwara, are you leaving?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said to the prefectural police at the door: "Please tell Inspector Yamamura that I will take these two things back to Tokyo. I will fax the report to him when I get the results."

"Yes!" The county police had received instructions from his superiors before coming, so he had no objection at all.
